Lyrics Lighthouse - James Taylor

Lighthouse

Off the coast of africa
Bound for south america
A world away from here
Is a ship that sails the sea
Is a man whos just like me And I wish that I was there
Im a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night
Im watching the sea
Shes come half-way round the world to see the light
And to stay away from me There is a shipwreck lying at my feet
Some weary refugee from the rolling deep
Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me?
Couldnt we shine?
Im rolling all my golden moments into one
Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
Flashing on, flashing, fading away
Well if you feel lost and lonely and dont know where to go And you hear this song on the radio
Or even if youre feeling healthy and strong
You might like to sing along
But just because I might be standing here
That dont mean I wont be wrong this time
You could follow me and lose your mind
Off the coast of africa
Bound for south america
A world away from here
Is a ship that sails the sea
Is a man whos just like me And I wish that I was there
